Living Stations of the Cross

Second grade students presented Living Stations of the Cross in the chapel during Holy Week. Below are our students own prayers for each station. Please join our students in their beautiful prayers to Jesus and Mary, as we remember and meditate on the Passion of our Lord. Click here to view pictures from Living Stations.

Before each station, pray: “We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You, because by Your holy Cross You have redeemed the world.”

First Station: Jesus is Condemned to Death

We are so sorry you were condemned to die. You must have been so sad. The soldiers were so mean to You. You must have felt like the people didn’t care about You. Amen

Second Station: Jesus Takes Up His Cross
Dear Jesus,
I’m so sorry that the cross was so heavy. And I’m so sorry You had to die. If I was there I would carry it for You. I’m sorry that You had to suffer for us. Amen.

By Leslie Best, Delaney Kelley, and Alexa Coyle

By: Layden Painter and Winter Phillips

Eighth Station: Jesus Meets the Crying Women of Jerusalem
